Lyrics
She came from somewhere back
In his long ago
(Sentimental fools don't see)
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in their lives
She musters a smile
For a nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
(She had a place in his life) Oh
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems
To be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
Is sending him somewhere back
In his long ago (like like, well, alone)
Where he can still believe
There's a place in his life
Somehow, someday
She will return
Had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But a fool believes
(I know she's never going away)
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems (Nobody's gonna tell him nothing)
To be (Oh coming back to be)
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
He's making a fool believe
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
What seems (Nobody's gonna tell him nothing)
To be (tell him she's coming back, coming back)
Nobody can change it
Whatever you do (Believes)
(He sees)
